Class Details
This course is designed for beginners who have already some basic knowledge of Italian. Its goal is to give students the opportunity to review and expand their oral/aural and reading/writing proficiency in Italian. During the semester you will continue to learn grammar, vocabulary, pronunciation, while improving your aural-oral skills, reading and writing in Italian. To achieve these goals, you will be presented with a wide range of communication patterns and real-life situations. At the end of the semester you will be able to use Italian to talk about yourself, your life, to describe your town and its history, your dreams and interests, and to express your opinion on complex topics. You will also be able to talk in Italian about present, past, and future events and to express doubts and hopes. You will be able to understand more complex conversations and clips from mainstream Italian films, and to write longer compositions. Conducted entirely in Italian.
